Chapter 37: An Easy Battle
More than two hundred thieves approached quickly, and in the front, there were more than a dozen thieves on war horses, who were the thieves Du Liudu and seven brothers and their henchmen.
"Brother, these caravans reacted very quickly." Looking at the car array that quickly appeared in the distance, Du Qi said in surprise.
Du Liu said with a smile: "These businessmen dare to come out to do business at this time, naturally they have two brushes, but today, they have come to an end!" ”
The total number of caravans was only more than seventy people, and there were more than two hundred and fifty under his command, three or four times the numerical advantage, Du Liu naturally did not look at the caravan opposite.
Soon, Du Liu Du Qi led the thieves to the front of the convoy, looking at the car formation more than ten zhang away, Du Liu smiled coldly, waved his hand, and a thief with a mustache next to him rode forward and approached the car formation, which was the one who accosted him in the courtyard of Huyang Pavilion not long ago.
"The shopkeeper, we are the team of the two Du masters of Gegang, for the sake of the friendship not long ago, the shopkeeper you take your people away, leave the goods behind, and the master Du promises to spare your life." Bazi Hu said loudly.
"Uncle Jin, you tell him, let Du Liu and Du Qi come over and talk." Zhang Miao covered the bow and arrow in his hand with the carriage and whispered to Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin nodded knowingly, straightened up and shouted to the eight-character nonsense: "This brother, please tell you Du Dangjia, we have no grudges in the past and no hatred today, if you can let us go, I am willing to hand over thirty percent of the goods." ”
Bazihu shook his head: "We Du Dangjia said, the goods are left, and you people leave." Otherwise, they all stay! ”
Zhang Jin said: "Brother, can you invite Du Dangjia to come, let's discuss it carefully, if you can let us go, I will give him a great benefit." ”
"What's the big deal?" Bazihu hurriedly asked.
Zhang Jin shook his head: "You Du Dangjia must come in person, this benefit is enough to make your Du Dangjia soar, and you will never have to worry about it again!" ”
Seeing that Zhang Jin refused to speak, Bazi Hu could only ride his horse back and tell Du Liudu and the seven brothers about the matter.
"Brother, beware of fraud." Du Qi said cautiously.
Du Liu sneered: "A bunch of turtles in the urn, what waves can be churned, I want to hear it, what do they want to say?" How can we be carefree again? ”
Du Qi thought for a moment and said, "Brother, you are the master of an army, you can't move lightly, let me come forward and take a look." ”
Du Liu thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, you can go for the seventh child, be careful." ”
Du Qi was really cautious, and before leaving, he asked his subordinates for a round shield to hold in his hand. Holding a round shield in one hand and pulling the reins in the other, he rode slowly towards the chariot formation.
"I'm Gegang Duqi, what do you have to say?" In the distance, Du Qi stopped his horse and shouted loudly.
"Du Dangjia is invited, Zhang Jin in Xiaxiangyang, this time the treasure land ......," Zhang Jin said.
"Can you shoot?" Xu Shu asked worriedly. This Du Qi is really too ghostly, the war horse covers the lower half of the body, not to mention, and uses a shield to cover the upper body, and only a pair of eyes are left exposed.
"Try it." Zhang Miao replied casually. Holding the bow in his left hand and holding the arrow in his right hand, he has already pulled the bowstring to seven points full.
"Du Dangjia, the head of my family is the Jingzhou Mubei Kuai Yue, the Kuai family is one of the best in Jingxiang, as long as you do something today, I will definitely speak well for you in front of the head of the family, and there is no problem in seeking an official position for your brother, isn't it better than being a thief in this Gegang?"
Zhang Jin flickered with lotus flowers in his mouth, but Du Qi was shocked when he heard it, and a wave of ecstasy surged into his heart, staring at Zhang Jin without blinking: "What you said is true?" ”
Everyone knows that there is no future as a yellow turban thief, if you can get an official position in Xiangyang, a fool will want to be a thief!
Just when Du Qi's mood was agitated and his vigilance was reduced, Zhang Miao suddenly straightened up, and the bowstring was full at the same time, and at the moment when his body stood still, his right hand had been released, and a cold light came out of the string, shooting towards Du Qi like a meteor, and passing through Du Qi's throat with a pop.
Du Qi's eyes straightened suddenly, he let go of the shield in his hand, grabbed the trembling arrow feather in front of his neck, shook his body twice, and fell off the horse with a "poof".
"Old Seven!" In the distance, Du Liu's eyes suddenly burst out, and he looked at his brother who fell to the ground incredulously.
"Kill, kill all these people for me, find that archer, Lao Tzu will cut him with a thousand knives!" Du Liu was furious, pulled out his knife, and shouted frantically.
With Du Liu's order, more than 200 thieves immediately rushed towards the car formation.
However, before they could get close to the cart formation, a rain of arrows flew out of the cart formation and landed among the thieves, and a dozen or so thieves who were marching were shot to the ground.
These thieves, who were local people not long ago, had to choose to be thieves because of hunger, so naturally they could not have armor, and they were defenseless in the face of feather arrows.
Of course, this casualty was not enough to stop the thieves. Soon the thieves attacked the front of the car formation, and then were blocked by the car formation in a circle.
Some thieves went to untie the rope between the car, while others couldn't wait, climbed onto the cart with their weapons, and tried to jump over.
And at this moment, countless bamboo spears stabbed out from the car array, and one after another the thieves who jumped on the car array were poked and overturned.
Although it is not as sharp as the iron spear, the bamboo spear with a very sharp head is still not something that the flesh and blood of a thief without armor can resist.
The four-zhang long bamboo spear is far longer than any weapon in the thief's hand, and the car array is far apart, so that the thief can only be beaten and cannot fight back.
A bamboo spear stabbed out quickly, and then quickly retracted, followed by a miserable howl. The thieves who jumped into the car were poked down one after another, and the thieves who tried to untie the rope between the car and the car were not spared.
Occasionally, the thieves dodged the stingers of the bamboo spears and jumped out of the cart, but they were faced with two huge axes in Deng Tu's hands.
Deng Tu is characterized by his height and strength, which is most suitable for charging and breaking the formation, Zhang Miao suggested that he give up using knives and use heavy weapons, Deng Tu ordered two plate axes in Deng Yi, each axe weighed more than ten catties.
Deng Tu roared angrily, with every roar, the axe slashed out heavily, and when the thief who had just jumped over the cart hurriedly blocked it with a knife, he was cut into two pieces by Deng Tu with a knife!
Easily slashing the thief in front of him, Deng Tu looked around with a pair of sharp eyes, looking for the fish that had slipped through the car formation from the bamboo spear. Well, his mission is to slay down the enemies who jump into the formation!
Zhang Miao stood calmly in the center of the formation, one after another feather arrows broke out of the string, and each feather arrow accurately flew into the key point of the thief who jumped on the cart, or the door or the eye or the stalk, and the thief fell down with the arrow without saying a word.
These thieves, mostly idle scoundrels in the countryside, gathered around Du Liu and Du Qi during the chaos in Huyang, they were not trained at all, and they did not know how to fight. In the past, relying on the large number of people to burn, kill and loot, when they encountered the real one, they immediately panicked.
In just a stick of incense, the thief couldn't bear it anymore and retreated in a swarm.
"Flying spear!" Looking at the back of the retreating thief, Xu Shu ordered in a deep voice.
The spearmen took their spears from their backs and threw them out, each with great momentum, sticking into the backs of the fleeing thieves and pinning them to the ground. Many of the thieves did not die for a while, and let out terrible screams.
One round was followed by another, and when all the spearmen threw the three short spears they carried on their backs, thirty or forty men were stabbed to death on the spot. Counting the thieves who died when they attacked just now, in just this moment's effort, there are as many as fifty or sixty thieves killed!
